Container with insert area

Abstract

Containers including bottles of either cylindrical, rectangular or other geometric or sculptural form having at least one selected area of a sidewall thereof providing a depression or indentation to receive at least one article; solid, liquid, granular or other material therein. After placement of such article in this area, the article may be retained therein through adhesives or other adherents or the area may simply be overlayed with a covering film to retain the article. The covering film may simply cover this particular area and preferably would be clear over the area to allow viewing of the article or may include labelling materials which substantially surround the container with a clear area maintained over the indented or depressed area and similarly, the container may be silk screened or otherwise decorated with clear covering film being limited to the depressed or indented area.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. A container having an insert area to receive an article therein, said container consisting of: a. a bottom and at least one upstanding side wall to provide a hollow member to receive a first material therein;   b. said side wall converging to provide a closeable top;   c. an indentation having a perimeter formed in said side wall and directed inwardly of said hollow member to receive said article therein;   d. said indentation having substantially smooth side walls;   e. a film associated with said side wall, covering said indentation to provide a means for retaining the article within said indentation and secured on said side wall adjacent said indentation;   f. said film having a shape similar to said indentation and said film having a perimetric size substantially equal to and greater than the perimetric size of said indentation, so that the perimeter of said film is secured to said upstanding side wall; and,   g. said film being clear over said indentation.   
     
     
       2. The container as set forth in claim 1; and, a. said indentation including bottom, top, rear and side walls;   b. said bottom, top and side walls of said indentation being arranged substantially normal to said side wall in which said indentation is formed; and,   c. said rear wall of said indentation being arranged substantially parallel to said side wall in which said indentation is formed.   
     
     
       3. The container as set forth in claim 1; and, a. said indentation including bottom, top, rear and side walls;   b. said side walls of said indentation being arranged angularly with respect to said side wall in which said indentation is formed;   c. said top and bottom walls of said indentation being arranged substantially normally to said side wall in which said indentation is formed; and,   d. said rear wall of said indentation being arranged substantially parallel to said side wall in which said indentation is formed.   
     
     
       4. The container as set forth in claim 1 wherein said hollow member is of a circular, cylindrical configuration thereby providing only one upstanding side wall, said inwardly directed indentation being formed in said upstanding side wall.
